Red Sox fan here..
Am trying to look into Papi’s achilles injury to make best guesstimate regarding the extent of injury, prognosis, prospects for recovery and so forth etc. and came upon your post saying
“from what I’ve read”..
Could you let me know source(s) for my perusal?
Please advise..

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 20:23:39 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=301253#comment-450957The contract that Ortiz signed in the off-season was a two-fer.

1. It was a lifetime achievement award for what he’s done for the team, not what the team thinks he’ll do over the next two years.
2. It will keep Ortiz from whining about his contract, at least until next season.

Fact is, Ortiz has been a lot better hitter playing FOR a contract than playing WITH one.

Crawford is clearly the bargain of the bunch ( sarcasm). Also thanks for De La Rosa and Webster (not sarcasm).

BoSox must have been really desperate to field a team by resigning him. Thank you for Gonzo, Carl, and Beckett. Next time the Dodgers might have to buy the entire team for spare parts.

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:30:55 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=301253#comment-450839Perhaps I’m an idealist but I think IF and that’s a big if this hip surgery works out for A-Rod I honestly believe he can be very productive through the 2014 season. After that the Yankees will only own him 3 years salary about $65MM per Cot’s (not including milestone incentives). BTW, my guess is I think he will only reach 1 incentive anyway, Mays 660 HR number. I think the likelihood of him getting to Ruth’s 714 is slim and none no mater how long he plays. That’s just my opinion.

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:26:49 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=301253#comment-450767The following question was posed to the “Magic 8 Ball”: How much of a factor will the 37 year old David Ortiz be with the Red Sox for the next 2 years? The Magic 8 Ball responded with: The Red Sox better hope he’s a huge factor.

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:21:20 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=301253#comment-450765From what I’ve read it’s not the tendon itself (which would be really bad), but more of the muscle in the general area because of the lack of use. Apparently Ortiz was scared a little because of the area being sore a doctor explained to him that it was to be expected due to the months of inactivity for the area.
